The President of the German Canoe Federation Mr Thomas Konietzko added this quote, when he said: „Wildwater has a proud history and I am sure that we write with the 2013 World Championships a new chapter in a successfull future for our sport. We are here in Austria and Germany is the host federation. This is a very great cooperation. We chose this place, because the region offers the best conditions and we work closely with the Austria Canoe Federation and the City of Lofer.“
